NHTURE POISONS DESERT SPAING Bones of Prospectors Bleaching Near the Deadly Lure, Anzlysis Shows Water to Be Heavily Charged With Arssnic. SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 17.—A party of prospectors headed by Henry Arnetl, { Who is well known in the desert mining district, has arrived here, bringing word Juf the discovery in Southern Nevada of the remains of several persons supposed 1o have been prospectors. Arneil and his party had been prospect- ing in Nevada and were on their way to | this city, intending to come by the way of Mormon Springs. When near what they supposed was Timber Mountain they were attracted to a spring by the luxu- t growth of vegetation around it, { ys'lllch could be seen for miles.’ On near- | ing the spring they were sta¥fled to find first a part of a human skeleton, and far- ther on the remains of several other skeletons. Although the finding of a human skele- ton on the desert is not an event that creates much excitement, the discovery | of the remains of an entire party caused much wonder among the prospectors, | especially when they were so near a water supply. The cause of the deaths was soon revealed. No sooner had the u from the spring than they were seized by cramps, some of them suffefing in-| tensely. Suspecting that the water con- tained a mineral poison, Arneil cautioned his companions against drinking more of | it, ‘and after,resting over night they | started for thit city, bringing with them | samples of the water. The water was aralyzed by a chemist and proved to be heavily charged with arsenic, Speciilator Demands Damages. Frank Golden, speculator, filed a suit for $40,000 damges against O. A. Turner, a business agent, yesterday.| Golden al- leges that last July Turner agreed to sell him 2500 shares of preferred stock in the Tonopah Mining Company and 2500 shares | of common stock in the same company for $2500. Golden claims that he pald | Turner $250 on account and in the follow- | ing September offered to pay him the bal- | ance. The offer, alleges Golden, was re- | fused, thereby causing him to lose a large | sum of money, as he alleges the stock in- | creased in value. { —_———— | Alversen Held to Answer. members of the party drunk of the water | _ MITCHELL’S VOTE DECIDES THE LOCAL OPTION FIGHT Chairman of Alameda County Board of Supervisors Stands With Supporters of the Anti-Saloon Ordinance, Which Is Passed to Print and Will Become a Law January 1 AKLAND, Nov. 17.—John Mitchell, who charges the liquor dealers ‘with conniving at his defeat for the County Assessorship, has had his' revenge. As chairman of the Board of Supervisors he held the con- trolling vote to-day on passage of the local option lquor license ordinance. Mitchell voted with the supporters of the measure and thereby dealt the liquor in- terests of Alameda County the hardest blow they have felt since the county be- came a political division of the State of California. When the rollcall reached Mitchell's name, the last og the list, it was a tle vote. Supervisors Church and Horner had voted against the bill and Rowe and Talcott had registered their ‘‘aye” on passage to print. Mitchell added the third “aye” to the roll, and the measure was on its way to become the law of the county. It will become operative on January 1, Frank B. Alverson, proprietor of the| 1 Brockway Hotel, Lake Tahoe, was held to answer before the Superior Court by | Police Judge Cabaniss yesterday on a | charge of obtaining money by false pre- | tenses. Alverson is accused of obtaining $i500 from John F. Elliott, an Eastern | capitalist, on April 22, 1901, on the repre- | | sentation that certain lands he was to | purchase near his hotel were worth that | amount, but it was alleged they were not | worth more than $1100, the sum actually paid by Alverson. | B — | Rang in False Fire Alarm. Percy A. Merchant, a substitute fire-/ man, was convicted by Police Judge Ca- | { baniss yesterday on the charge of ringing | {in a false alarm of fire from box 281, at | | Twenty-eighth and Church streets, on the | night of November 11. Merchant will be | sentenced to-morrow. Merchant denied | hifs guilt, but two ladies testified that they {saw him leave a buggy and turn in the alarm. A young lady, Miss Fucher, was | seated in the buggy and the only reason suggested for Merchant's act was that he wanted Miss Fucher to see how fast the 1(ngines came to a fire. ——————————— | Do Not Want New Trial. A stipulation dismissing the motion for a new trial of the contest of the will of the late Henry J. Lammers, which was recently decided in Judge Troutt's court in favor of the contestant, Peter Lam- mers, a half-brother of the deceased, was filed yesterday. Lammers died a year | ago, leaving his estate, valued at $15,000, to his housekeeper and nurse. His half- brother contested the will on the ground that Lammers was of unsound mind when the will was made. \ ——————— Longshoreman Attempts Suicide. | James Nichols, a longshoreman living | at 23 Baldwin court, off Folsom street, | was found in his bed last night at 12| o'clock with cuts on his throat.

GRAFT |EDITOR DAKES - RAMS ROWBOAT Victims of Accident on Bay Rescued With Difficulty. Oakland Officé San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 17. While speeding his newly launthed pleasure boat, the Tule Queen, on the estuary yesterday evening Fred Franks, a young clubman and capitalist, ran down a rowboat occupied by Conductor W. Brown of the Southern Pacific Company and his wife. The occupants of the small- er craft were thrown into the water ‘and were rescued with difficulty. Mrs. Brown was helped from the water by Franks, while her husband was rescued by the en- gineer of the Tule Queen. The accident occurred off the landing of the California Yacht Club. The young clubman, who was in charge of the launch, stated that when Brown discover- ed the launch in proximity to him he ceased rowing, making the collision un- avoidable. The unfortunates who were immersed in the waters of the estuary were driven to their home, 942 Center street, in a hack.

The vote to pass to print, which assures enactment of the law, was then taken. Ten thousand copies of the new law will be printed for general distribution. The fight for the ordinance has been conducted under the direction of the Anti-Saloon League for Central and Northern California. The Rev. L. Meade Hartley, superintendent of the league, said: “This is the best precinct option ordinance in this State. It has been drawn with utmost care and will stand every test. Such a law is in force in six or eight counties, and in a dozen cities of this State. E. J. Martin was at the head of the citizens’ committee which was or- ganized by us to carry on this fight, and our attorney was R. 8. Gray, who handled the matter from its legal as- pect.” . The liquor dealers were organized un- der the name of the Knights of the Royal Arch. There was no discussion to-day before the board by either side, as the arguments were made last Thursday. NOW ON TRIAL Judge Melvin Refuses to Dismiss the In- dictment. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 17. George A. Oakes, editor of the Hay- wards Journal, charged under a Grand Jury indictment with conspiring with County Assessor Henry P. Dalton and Russell R. Stedman to defraud the county of $1500 by means of fictitious printing bills, was placed on trial to-day in Judge Melvin's court. The only feature of the case was Judge | Melvin's decision that thq case must pro- ceed to trial, ‘after Attorney Langan, on | behalf of the defendant, moved for a dismissal, owing to the insufficiency of the evidence. 57 The case was continued until 10 o’clock to-morrow morning for argument. The evidence and the testimony of the ‘witnesses was identical with that adduced at the Dalton trial, which resulted in an acquital. Every procedure was purely formal and almost devoid of interest. The trial did not attract any spectators. The | jury was chosen in an hour, and the tes- timony submitted in two hours more, Both the prosecution and defense were ready for argument at 3 o'clock, but Judge Mel- vin continued the case until to-morrow. J. B. Lanktree was the first witness ex- amined. He testified to cashing the two orders for printing, the sums being $600 and $975. Henry P. Dalton and Russell Stedman, on whom Dalton’s attorneys tried to cast the blame of the preceding trial, were the next two witnesses, Dalton said the or- ders for the printing had been confounded and Stedman testified to obtaining the money according to Dalton’s instructions from Lanktree. Oakes then testified in his own behalf, stating that he received the order from Dalton and turned it over to Stedman for the Enquirer Publishing Company to file, and did pot pay any more attention to the matter until called before the Grand Jury. That completed the testimony. There was no cross-examination either on the part of the defendant or prosecution. The jury selected to try the case is as follows: John C. Stanley, Andrew Ross, ‘W. H. Mauer, M. J. Garcla, W. H. Ham- ilton, Patrick Fee, Amos Clark, Theodére Eisfeldt, Andrew Black, Frank H. Fisher, H. A. Kohler and James Potts, Licensed to Marry, ‘3 OAKLAND, Nov. 17.—The following marriage licenses were issued to-day: Christopher H. Rowlands, over 21, Berke- ley, and Mary Lewis, over 18, Oakland; Ernest T. Cooley, over 21, and Mrs. Eva Corlett, over 18, both of San Francisco; ‘William H. Wessa, 34, and Amy L.

Downey Harvey Seeks Pay for Occupation of Land. Society That Befriends the Red Man Is the Real Defandant. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SAN DIEGO, Nov. 17.—The interesting sult of J. Downey Harvey against thepn,ve| fight in midair between two large American Surety Company began this+ morning before Judge Conklin in the Su- perior Court. The case arose out of the suit brought some time ago to evict the Indians from the present location at War- ner's Hot Springs. The decision at that time was against the Indians, and in order to’take an appeal to the higher | court and to the Secretaly of the Inte- rior it was necessary to put up a bond to secure the plaintiff against damage by reason of the appeal and stay of pro- ceedings. The surety company signed the bond, but before it did so the Indian Rights Association deposited with the security company the sum of $5000. When the case was finally decided in ‘favor of the plaintiff, Harvey, he com- menced action on the bond. It is not a question of whether he should or should not be pald for the detention of his land up to and including the present month, but as to how much he shall receive. The Rights Association is the real defendant and will make every effort to keep the amount pald to Harvey down to small figures. In the gnd it is probable that the Government will pay the amount of the judgment in a bill to reimburse the In- dian Rights Association for its outlay in behalf of the Indians. MAYOR SCHMITZ SPEAKS TO TOILERS OF CHICAGO Tells Them They Can Elect Their Own Representatives if They Forget Differences. CHICAGO, Nov. 1i.—Eugene E. Schmitz, the Upion Laber Mayor of San Francisco, told the members of Chicago trades unions to-night that they could place thefr own representatives in the City Hall if they wouid forget all per- sonal differences and work for the com- mon cause.

Discovering a captive cub in one of his traps on a steep mountain side, he knocked it on the head and was preparing to take it away when the old mother bear rushed upon him. The force of the impact proved his salvation, as he was hurled down a precipitous grade, but was able to recover his feet at the bot- tom before the bear could overtake him. Moody hastened to his cabin for a rifle, but on returning to the mountain was unable to find either the bear or the cub, the mother having carried her offspring away. e T Fire Razes Brick Worl STOCKTON, Nov. 17.—The Stockton Brick and Terra Cotta Company’s works in the southeastern part of town were consumed by fire this morning.
